Norton Utd v Vale

Port Vale take on Norton United this evening at their ground in Community Drive, Smallthorne (kick off 7.30 pm) as Micky Adams steps up the pre-season work.

It is the first of two games within the space of three days, ahead of the game against Newcastle Town on Sunday afternoon before the squad flies over to Ireland.

There should be a decent crowd in attendance as supporters get the chance to see the new signings in a Vale shirt for the first time.

Micky has said he will take a full squad, at least all of those available, including the development players, and everybody will be getting some game time.

These games are all about fitness of course, and with a few aching muscles due to the fitness work done so far, it is perhaps a good thing that the lads won’t be expected to play for a whole ninety minutes just yet.

Entrance to tonight’s game is £7.00 Adults and £5.00 Concessions, but if you are a season ticket holder, get down to Vale Park and purchase your ticket in advance to save £2.00 on the price.
